Blog about Tahari Gor Role Play in Second Life

You really know about the Tahari and its people? Here are a couple of questions for you about the city of Tor.

If you can answer them all correctly, you win an evening with one of my slaves. For the lads: My slave girl Mag will show you the secrets of the Kamasutra. For the Ladies : You can chose between a male pleasure slave (fresh on stock) or Mag’s Kamasutra lessons (she doesn’t mind the touch of a women either).

Yesterday I received a group message form Rear the commander of the “Black Dagger Mercenaries”. What is that, you might well think, and so did I. Especially when the content of such message implied several confusing things:

Tarna is the “darling” of all females that want to play a fighting role in Second Life Gor. It’s the character that is used to justify the existence of female warriors in the Tahari, sometimes even to justify the existence or plausibility of female warriors anywhere on Gor.

In this article I want to show once again that Taharian tribes differ substantially from the known Gor as portrayed in most Second Life Gor Sims.

For those who don’t know me yet: I am Sheraka of Tyros. Former head scribe and council member of a Tyrian colony called Tem Wood. There I builded what was considered the biggest library ever in SL Gor, with a collection of scrolls about nearly anything related to Gor. Including some of my own writings which have been published on my blog and on various Gorean portals.

This description of the oasis of the red rock, confirms what I wrote in earlier posts. The main part of a Tahari Oasis is agriculture. Also, as you can read here, nobody stopped the caravan or even question the raiders. No mentioning of a city wall or gate at all. They just rode in and looked for an inn.

In the following a conversation between Zina a free woman and Hassan the bandit. It clearly shows that one cannot survive alone in the Tahari without an animal to ride on, appropriate cloth and carrying enough water. The person that was send away, even begged to stay in the raiders camp as a slave because she knew, leaving the camp would be her certain death:
